Well rounded that’s me. I am 5’8″ and run at 150. Thick in booty, thighs, abs, and boobs. Invert and get a face full of boob. Nickname Cookie Monster (my booty eats shorts faster than he eats cookies). Love the way you are because if we all looked the same life would be so boring. Don’t let your size as you say stop you from any goal you wish to try. So go out and do it.

I have my social learning time in class and use the lessons from online to clear up what I may have missed in class and add variations. I wouldn’t give up my classes at the studio I learn something new from multiple people. BOTH ARE WONDERFUL FOR ME.

As a 46 year old that has been on the pole for 4 years you never stop learning and you get stronger with each attempt. You will find moves you love and moves you hate, you will rejoice with each achievement and soak your bruises later. I pole to find myself after a tough week at work. The music fills and recharges me and the flow that I create from freestyle dance or the learning of a new move or taking a spin and making it my own is what keeps me coming back.

I video tape most of my private lessons. It would be a total hoot if I put together a mix of my ups and downs. I get into a tangled mess at times.

Poling since April 2009. Love every minute of it. I am 45 now and use poling as my relaxing stress reliever. I kick my butt every class since work keeps me off the pole 5 out of 7 days. Wish I would have started sooner since I love love love it.

This is too funny. I’m glad that I have a studio of sisters. We have grown to become close friends throughout the years. I’m tall and big, not heavy but big. Shirts and shorts are always a problem. I double layer everything because my tank top shifts and boobs come close to coming loose and my shorts are full coverage but tell that to my booty that just thinks lunch. I’m gonna get cheeky no matter what I wear.
We wear what we are comfortable in and I agree. Dress how you would like your students too dress and we will follow.
For the studio that has the open door that public occasionally enters. That would make me self conscious and very uncomfortable. Our larger studio has a nice purple drape that prevents outside viewing. How would you like to be doing stretching and have strangers walk in while your spread eagle.
I’m thankful for my instructor that has just got in there and secured me back to the pole no matter what it takes. I’ve fallen once on my own and it’s a bad thing. So if your an instructor I’m sure you’ve had many butts in the face or boobs in hand but it’s better than 911! -
I have been known to do multiple classes in one evening and that is due to the fact that I work horrible hours and poling is my stress reliever. Its all in the conditioning you are doing. I do not pole continuously during the classes and sometimes I am even sharing a pole. What we do for conditioning is climb challenge (stay moving on the pole for the entire song without touching the ground) and free style dance on the floor, wall, or pole for an entire song.
With the way the classes run I end up with a 15 min. warm up, 10 min. warm up on the pole (free style transitions and climbs), 20-30 min. working on moves (spins, inverts, transitions), finished off with a free style song. Classes run 1 hour to 1.25 hour long.
As long as your enjoying yourself your doing well. You did not mention how long you have been poling just the amount of time you are working on it currently.

She was at a woman’s fitness center checking out the class listings. I’m not sure how porn jumped into the “She didn’t even try it and she is writing about it disapointment comment.” Just goes to show perception is what makes things acceptable or not.

She didn’t try a class which is a disappointment to me. She can write about pole dancing after she actually tries it and can give a more informed opinion.

You must have missed the “Bringing Sexy Back!” On Facebook. But the sexy never left they just pushed it away to main stream poling. If poling is going to the Olympics it’s going to become more trick based and less dance based. I miss beautiful flowing transitions

They are awesome but I would face plant trying to do anything but floor work in them. There are multiple sights out there. PleaserUSA has a whole bunch to look at. Enjoy your search. I usually go for the clear uppers due to the other types being too loose. Boots are cool too.

Remember that your body needs rest too. Alternate types of workouts so yo are getting your full body workout without overworking a single area. And take a total rest day.
You won’t build muscle and strength if you are not giving your body a chance to do its job. The bruising will stop in some areas but its gonna happen, guys just don’t get we are holding ourselves and putting a lot of pressure on a small area. New move – New bruise. -
Don't let it get you down. We all progress at different levels. Check out Veena's prep videos for inverting and keep working towards it. If your afraid to commit to a full invert leg on the pole try the inverted V and back down. You will only get stronger and develop more confidence in the end.
I have fallen out of an invert once and I have always been afraid to invert at home. No spotter available and no crash mat yet. The fear of "I've fallen and I can't get up!" keeps me from trying inverts at home. I have a membership at a studio close to home and love the contact with other ladies who are as passionate about pole as I am.
Good luck and keep on tucking. You will get there in the end. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Just smile sweetly and say, "Gee, I didn't know it was a stripper move. I guess you would know since you must go to strip clubs." People react so funny to you being nice and sunny about things they think are crude. Power too you! Don't give up what you do, love the fact that you and your mum pole together.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have the 7" chrome, love them to death. They hold up really well, minor scratches but nothing that is overly obvious. I have seen the other girls in class wearing the UV and do not notice to much damage to their shoes. We tend to scuff the fronts due to floor work and other moves that drag but its not bad.
I prefer the clear over the other types of shoe material the only issue I have is the ankle straps start to wear out. I have small ankles and they seem to start tearing where the strap meets the shoe.
Best of luck on your shoe purchase. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
